Dracula and The Metamorphosis give us two characters that constitute the head of household. Each character serves as a fatherly figure that takes charge when the situation arises. However‚ the difference between the two is striking. Dracula’s Van Helsing is a man that takes his place among strangers and brings them together. In The Metamorphosis‚ Gregor’s father holds a title of honor‚ yet his contentment with the work being done by his son makes the reader lose respect for him. When faced with unimaginable

My Gothic Story A cold gust of wind blew‚ against my cheeks. There was noise‚ I looked up and there was drips of blood falling onto the hollow floor coming from the echoing ceiling. It was a rough night‚ the stars hid away behind the dull grey clouds. There was a bright full moon shining in the clear night sky. My voiceless shadow stumbled after me as I followed the footsteps of an unknown creature lurking in the dark and gloomy woods........... It all started when I was hovering outside

Explore the presentation of Mina Most critics would safely agree that “Dracula” is a novel that dramatically presents the role of the female in Victorian society.

The Gothic in Wuthering Heights In true Gothic fashion‚ boundaries are trespassed‚ specifically love crossing the boundary between life and death and Heathcliff’s transgressing social class and family ties. Brontë follows Walpole and Radcliffe in portraying the tyrannies of the father and the cruelties of the patriarchal family and in reconstituting the family on non-patriarchal lines‚ even though no counterbalancing matriarch or matriarchal family is presented.
